Economic growth is projected to remain above 5% in 2019-20. Rising incomes will lift private consumption. Tighter financial conditions will weigh on firms’ investment but ongoing infrastructure investment will provide support. Slower growth in trading partners will be a drag on exports, but improvements in regulations and connectivity, along with greater price competitiveness from currency depreciation, should support gains in market share. Inflation is set to remain relatively subdued notwithstanding the rupiah depreciation and higher fuel prices. Higher import prices have widened the current account deficit.
